When the equation of the line is written is standard form, ie y = mx + c, then the slope is m.
Here, y = -3x + 5 so m = slope = -3

what is a slope
3x + y = 5 y = -3x + 5 slope is -3 and y intercept is 5.

A linear equation in the form y = mx + c has slope m Any line parallel to 3x + 9y = 5 has the same slope 3x + 9y = 5 → 9y = -3x + 5 → y = (-3/9)x + 5/9 → y = -⅓x + 5/9 → Every line parallel to 3x + 9y = 5 has slope -⅓.
3x-5=3x+5 There is no solution.
